Neue ternäre Germanide: Die Verbindungen Ln4Zn5Ge6 (Ln: Gd,Tm, Lu)

New Ternary Germanides: The Compounds Ln ₄Zn₅Ge₆ ( Ln : Gd, Tm, Lu) Three new ternary germanides were prepared by heating mixtures of the elements. Gd₄Zn₅Ge₆ (a = 4.249(3), b = 18.663(17), c = 15.423(6) Å), Tm₄Zn₅Ge₆ (a = 4.190(1), b = 18.410(5), c = 15.105(5) Å), and Lu₄Zn₅Ge₆ (a = 4.179(1), b = 18.368(4), c = 15.050(3) Å) are isotypic and crystallize in a new structure type (Cmc2₁; Z = 4), composed of edge‐ and corner‐sharing ZnGe₄ tetrahedra. The rare‐earth atoms fill channels of the Zn,Ge network running along the a axis and predominantly have an octahedral coordination of Ge atoms or a pentagonal prismatic environment of Zn and Ge atoms. The ZnGe₄ tetrahedra are orientated to each other so that two of six Ge atoms form pairs, while the other ones have no homonuclear contacts. This is in accord with an ionic splitting of the formula: (Ln³⁺)₄(Zn²⁺)₅(Ge^3–)₂(Ge^4–)₄. LMTO band structure calculations support the interpretation of bondings derived from interatomic distances. The metallic conductivity of these compounds expected from the electronic band structure was confirmed by measurements of the electrical resistance of Tm₄Zn₅Ge₆.     

The New Cesium Praseodymium Thiophosphate Cs3Pr5[PS4]6

Transparent platelet‐shaped green single crystals of the title compound were obtained by the reaction of cesium bromide, praseodymium, sulfur, and red phosphorus in the molar ratio 1:2:8:2 with an excess of CsBr as flux in evacuated silica ampoules at 950 °C for fourteen days. Cs₃Pr₅[PS₄]₆ crystallizes monoclinically in the space group C2/c (a = 1627.78(7), b = 1315.09(6), c = 2110.45(9) pm, β = 103.276(5)°; Z = 4). Its crystal structure is different from all the other alkali‐metal containing ortho‐thiophosphates of the lanthanides, since it is not possible to formulate a layer containing the praseodymium centered sulfur polyhedra ([PrS₈]^13—, d(Pr—S) = 286 — 307 pm) and the isolated [PS₄]^3— tetrahedra (d(P—S) = 202 — 207 pm, ?(S—P—S) = 104 — 106°). All these tetrahedra are edge‐sharing with the metal polyhedra to build up a framework instead. The coordination sphere of the half occupied (Cs2)⁺ cations (CN = 10 + 2) can be described as two six‐membered sulfur rings in chair conformation containing a “cesium‐pair” in the middle. In contrast the (Cs1)⁺ cations are surrounded in the not unusual configuration of tetracapped trigonal prisms (CN = 10, better 10 + 2 as well).     

Motive dichtester Kugelpackungen: Die Verbindungen Zn3(PS4)2 und LiZnPS4

Motifs of Closest Packings: The Compounds Zn₃(PS₄)₂ and LiZnPS₄ The crystal structure of Zn₃(PS₄)₂ was determined by single crystal X‐ray methods. The compound crystallizes tetragonally (P4¯n2; a = 7.823(1), c = 9.053(1)Å; Z = 2) with a new structure type built up by corner‐sharing ZnS₄ tetrahedra, which form two‐dimensional layers. Between them the P atoms are coordinated likewise tetrahedrally by sulfur. The PS₄ tetrahedra are arranged according to the motif of the cubic closest packing with zinc in three quarters of the tetrahedral voids. LiZnPS₄ (I4¯; a = 5.738(1), c = 8.914(1)Å; Z = 2) was synthesized by heating the elements at 400 °C. In comparison with Zn₃(PS₄)₂ one Zn atom is replaced by two Li atoms. The metal atoms are located in the centres of the sulfur tetrahedra in such a way that the unit cell volume is only about half that of the zinc compound. In this packing of the PS₄ units all the tetrahedral voids are occupied by lithium and zinc atoms. Chemical bonding in LiZnPS₄ is discussed by means of the electron localization function ELF.     

Neue Germanide mit geordneter Ce3Pt4Ge6‐Struktur – Die Verbindungen Ln3Pt4Ge6 (Ln: Pr–Dy)

New Germanides with an Ordered Variant of the Ce₃Pt₄Ge₆ Type of Structure – The Compounds Ln₃Pt₄Ge₆ (Ln: Pr–Dy) Six new germanides Ln₃Pt₄Ge₆ with Ln = Pr–Dy were synthesized by heating mixtures of the elements at 900 °C, annealing the inhomogeneous powders at 1050‐1100 °C for six days and then cooling down from 700 °C in the course of two months. The crystal structures of Pr₃Pt₄Ge₆ (a = 26.131(5), b = 4.399(1), c = 8.820(2) Å), Sm₃Pt₄Ge₆ (a = 25.974(3), b = 4.356(1), c = 8.748(1) Å), and Dy₃Pt₄Ge₆ (a = 26.079(5), b = 4.311(1), c = 8.729(2) Å) were determined by single crystal X‐ray methods. The compounds are isotypic (Pnma, Z = 4) and crystallize with an ordered variant of the Ce₃Pt₄Ge₆ type of structure (Cmcm, Z = 2) consisting of CaBe₂Ge₂‐ and YIrGe₂‐analogous units. The platinum atoms are located in distorted square pyramids of germanium atoms and build up with them a three‐dimensional network. The coordination polyhedra of the platinum and germanium atoms around the rare‐earth metal atoms are pentagonal and hexagonal prisms. These are completed by some additional atoms resulting in coordination numbers of 14 and 15 respectively. The other germanides were investigated by powder methods resulting in the following lattice constants: a = 26.067(6), b = 4.388(1), c = 8.800(2) Å for Ln = Nd; a = 25.955(7), b = 4.337(1), c = 8.728(2) Å for Ln = Gd; a = 25.944(5), b = 4.322(1), c = 8.698(2) Å for Ln = Tb. The atomic arrangement of Ln₃Pt₄Ge₆ is compared with the well‐known monoclinic structure of Y₃Pt₄Ge₆.

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Ln ₂Al₃Si₂ and Ln ₂AlSi₂ ( Ln : Y, Tb–Lu) Eight new ternary aluminium silicides were prepared by heating mixtures of the elements and investigated by means of single‐crystal X‐ray methods. Tb₂Al₃Si₂ (a = 10.197(2), b = 4.045(1), c = 6.614(2) Å, β = 101.11(2)°) and Dy₂Al₃Si₂ (a = 10.144(6), b = 4.028(3), c = 6.580(6) Å, β = 101.04(6)°) crystallize in the Y₂Al₃Si₂ type structure, which contains wavy layers of Al and Si atoms linked together by additional Al atoms and linear Si–Al–Si bonds. Through this there are channels along [010], which are filled by Tb and Dy atoms respectively. The silicides Ln₂AlSi₂ with Ln = Y (a = 8.663(2), b = 5.748(1), c = 4.050(1) Å), Ho (a = 8.578(2), b = 5.732(1), c = 4.022(1) Å), Er (a = 8.529(2), b = 5.719(2), c = 4.011(1) Å), Tm (a = 8.454(5), b = 5.737(2), c = 3.984(2) Å) and Lu (a = 8.416(2), b = 5.662(2), c = 4.001(1) Å) crystallize in the W₂CoB₂ type structure (Immm; Z = 2), whereas the structure of Yb₂AlSi₂ (a = 6.765(2), c = 4.226(1) Å; P4/mbm; Z = 2) corresponds to a ternary variant of the U₃Si₂ type structure. In all compounds the Si atoms are coordinated by trigonal prisms of metal atoms, which are connected by common faces so that Si₂ pairs (d_Si–Si: 2.37–2.42 Å) are formed.

The atomic parameters are refined by least-square methods. The crystal chemical differences in the surrounding of rare earth ions in BaMLn ₂O₅-compounds (M=Pt, Pd, Cu, Ni) are discussed.

     

Drei Alkalimetall‐Erbium‐Thiophosphate: Von der Schichtstruktur bei KEr[P2S7] zur dreidimensionalen Vernetzung in NaEr[P2S6] und Cs3Er5[PS4]6

Three Alkali‐Metal Erbium Thiophosphates: From the Layered Structure of KEr[P₂S₇] to the Three‐Dimensional Cross‐Linkage in NaEr[P₂S₆] and Cs₃Er₅[PS₄]₆ The three alkali‐metal erbium thiophosphates NaEr[P₂S₆], KEr[P₂S₇], and Cs₃Er₅[PS₄] show a small selection of the broad variety of thiophosphate units: from ortho‐thiophosphate [PS₄]^3? and pyro‐thiophosphate [S₃P–S–PS₃]^4? with phosphorus in the oxidation state +V to the [S₃P–PS₃]^3? anion with a phosphorus‐phosphorus bond (d(P–P) = 221 pm) and tetravalent phosphorus. In spite of all differences, a whole string of structural communities can be shown, in particular for coordination and three‐dimensional linkage as well as for the phosphorus‐sulfur distances (d(P–S) = 200 – 213 pm). So all three compounds exhibit eightfold coordinated Er³⁺ cations and comparably high‐coordinated alkali‐metal cations (CN(Na⁺) = 8, CN(K⁺) = 9+1, and CN(Cs⁺) ≈ 10). NaEr[P₂S₆] crystallizes triclinically ( ; a = 685.72(5), b = 707.86(5), c = 910.98(7) pm, α = 87.423(4), β = 87.635(4), γ = 88.157(4)°; Z = 2) in the shape of rods, as well as monoclinic KEr[P₂S₇] (P2₁/c; a = 950.48(7), b = 1223.06(9), c = 894.21(6) pm, β = 90.132(4)°; Z = 4). The crystal structure of Cs₃Er₅[PS₄] can also be described monoclinically (C2/c; a = 1597.74(11), b = 1295.03(9), c = 2065.26(15) pm, β = 103.278(4)°; Z = 4), but it emerges as irregular bricks. All crystals show the common pale pink colour typical for transparent erbium(III) compounds.

The crystal structures contain discrete units, chains, and 3D polyanionic frameworks composed of PS₄ tetrahedral units arranged and connected in different manner. Compounds 1 – 3 melt congruently, whereas incongruent melting behavior was observed for compound 4 . 1 – 4 are semiconductors with bandgaps between 2.3 and 2.6 eV and thermally stable up to 450 °C in an inert atmosphere.
